2nd & Main, 1896

2nd and Main looking north, 1896. The building on the north side of tracks is the Tulsa House Hotel. The white frame building is Scott's General Store (there was a hotel on the 2nd floor). The building with the spire is the 1st National Bank Building. The store next to the large tree on the right is the Maple Tree Barber Shop. One year after this picture was taken, on December 5, 1897, the east side of the street (right side of picture) burned down. The stone building was the only building that was not completely destroyed.
